What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was how quiet it felt inside the car after leaving the chaos of Naples station. Our driver, Antonio, waved at us from across the parking lot, holding my name (spelled right, which never happens). He smiled and took my suitcase before I could protest—he was already chatting about where we were staying in Positano. The car smelled faintly of lemon candies (he offered us some) and there was cold water waiting in the cup holders. It sounds silly but after that train ride, it felt like a small luxury.

Antonio asked if we wanted to stop anywhere on the way—apparently lots of people do a quick visit to Pompeii or just pull over for photos when the coast comes into view. We decided on a photo stop because honestly, I just wanted to see that view everyone talks about. He pulled off at this random spot (he called it his “secret” but I’m sure he tells everyone) and let us take our time. There was this warm wind coming up from the sea and you could smell salt and wild herbs. I tried to get a picture but none of them really did it justice—you know how that goes.

I didn’t expect the drive itself to be such a part of the trip. Antonio told stories about growing up near Sorrento, pointed out tiny villages tucked into cliffs, even gave us advice about where to eat in Positano (“not too close to the beach—too expensive!”). At one point he laughed at my attempt to pronounce ‘sfogliatella’—I still can’t say it right. The whole thing just felt easy, no rushing or waiting around for buses or trains. When we finally wound down into Positano, late afternoon sun hitting all those pastel houses, I kind of wished the drive was longer.
